You'll Be There

Hope is an anchor and love is a ship Time is the ocean and life is a trip You don't know where you're going 'Til you know where you're at And if you can't read the stars Well, you better have a map A compass and a conscience So you don't get lost at sea Or on some on lonely island Where no one wants to be From the beginning of creation I think our maker had a plan For us to leave these shores And sail beyond the sand And let the good light guide us Through the waves and the wind To the beaches in the world Where we have never been And we'll climb up on the mountain Y'all we'll let our voices ring And those who've never tried it They'll be the first to sing Whoa, my, my I'll see you on the other side If I make it And it might be a long hard ride But I'm gonna take it Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer I let the weather take me anywhere But I know that I wanna go Where the streets are gold 'Cause you'll be there Oh, my, my You don't bring nothing with you here And you can't take nothing back I ain't never seen a hearse with a luggage rack So I've torn my knees up prayin' Scarred my back from fallin' down Spent so much time flying high 'Til I'm face first in the ground So if you're up there watchin' me Would you talk to God and say Tell him, I might need a hand To see you both someday Whoa, my, my So I'll see you on the other side If I make it And it might be a long hard ride But I wanna take it Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer I let the weather take me anywhere But I know that I wanna go Where the streets are gold 'Cause you'll be there (you'll be there) Oh, my, my 'Cause you'll be there (you'll be there) Oh, my, my
